This totally sounds like a plot for an It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where Mac tries to prove his heterosexuality

[–] takeda 94 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

So two gays could just come in and say they are friends and get two free beers?

But straight women couldn't get it for free

I guess it's more: "we only want men"

That sounds a bit gay NGL.

"NGL" in Idaho = "Not Gay LOL"?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I used to work in the trades. I was surrounded by straight-acting men. There's nothing more gay than a group of straight-acting men.

Unfortunately it's the creepy, repressed kind of gay that would make a tolerate person's skin crawl.

I feel awful for their wives and children.

I stumbled over a community at lemmynsfw.com called "rough trade" or something similar. Those tradesmen were so straight they weren't afraid to let their buddy rest his cock in their mouth.

This would be hilarious if it was a gay bar. Maybe the kind with the people walking around in assless chaps.

You mean the clothing or do you just know a ton of British guys with very flat asses?

I will defer to your experience.

Just one question. What about those guys who need some support?

Do they know that there are also straight women, or have they just not been shown any interest from them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Bars have consistently had 'women nights' at bars where they get all night discounts and free admission. I don't see how this is any different

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Real manly men only think about other manly men.

[–] makyo 16 points 2 weeks ago

But only in a completely hetero way wink wink nudge nudge

[–] Carighan 29 points 2 weeks ago

They begrudgingly accept they exist, but they're working on at least removing all their rights.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago

Free beer (men only) sounds pretty gay

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 11 points 2 weeks ago

they have no interest in women.

wink.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's like free beer for your dog or kitchen stove. Here in Idaho, we try not to anthropomorphize our property.

It's clearly a bicep.

[–] Confused_Emus 51 points 2 weeks ago (14 children)

Events the conservative carpetbagger is hawking include “Truth seeker” nights, “Conspiracy Theory Trivia” with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle as a prize, “Open Carry Coffee” mornings with holstered handguns, and “Worship Nights” along with Bible study groups and a “Christian Singles Mingle” mixer.

A “Nefarious Vaccine Agenda” event and an upcoming “NASA Lies and Flat Earth” presentation fill out the bar’s way-out bill of fare.

Hate to disappoint, sir, but this was one bar my queer ass was never going to end up in anyway.

[–] Carighan 23 points 2 weeks ago

with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle as a prize

Geeeeeee, I wonder why gun crimes are so rampant in 'Murica compared to ~anywhere else in the world. I really have no idea! I hope someone figures this out eventually!

[–] RGB3x3 22 points 2 weeks ago

Do these people not realize they're caricatures? That people are laughing at them?

How can someone have so little self awareness

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I dont know, free beer and a flat earth exposé could be pretty entertaining.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Not gonna lie, while all that shit is insane, they're being pretty clever with their promotions. The best you'd get from most bars is a karaoke night or discount prime rib night.

How do you prove your sexuality to others?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

You have to make out with the bartender for 5 minutes and then they check to see whether you've gotten a boner or not.

You have to stare at the bar tender's gaping arsehole for 30 seconds without getting an erection. It's the only way to be sure.

Next month: pink eye awareness month!

This seems onion-y to me. I hope y'all agree.

Technically a gay couple is twice as manly as a hetero couple.

Not really related to the story, I just like that fact.

[–] masquenox 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, look... a sausage fest. As an actual straight male - no fucking thank you.

This seems to track for Idaho. Super large Mormon and white supremacies population there

Sure does sound like a bunch of participation trophy holders and snowflakes in there. You know, the exact shit they bitch about.

Aww is little Billy Rae Bob Timmy John upset that he isn't getting enough attention? Poor poor Billy Rae Bob Timmy John, just jack that pristine ~~Identity Accessory~~ pickup truck up another 4' and roll more coal, you'll get all the attention I promise!

how do they verify if you're a straight man or not? What's to stop me from just getting a free beer?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They jerk you off at the entrance. If you look like you're not enjoying it, you're in. It's watertight 👌

I'm actually really happy for them that they've never been persecuted for their sexual orientation!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

They have in their imaginations.

[–] Hildegarde 15 points 2 weeks ago

This article is lies. Its not a Boise bar, its in Eagle.

Boise is better than this. There are pride flags on the buildings on one street that has all the good bars.
